Abstract: Each base station of a plurality of base stations has one of a set of operational parameter values. The set includes k values. A first graph is defined having a first plurality of nodes 500a j and first plurality of edges 650a - c. A node of the first plurality of nodes represents a first base station of the plurality of base stations, and an edge of the first plurality of edges represents a first neighboring relationship between two base stations of the plurality of base stations. Each edge has an associated first weight value. The first graph is partitioned into a first set of k sub-graphs. Each sub-graph has a first subset of the plurality of nodes and edges. Partitioning is performed using a minimum k-partition algorithm which minimises a first sum value of the first weight values of the first subset of the plurality of edges in all k sub-graphs. A first conflict value is calculated based on the first sum value. The first conflict value is used to determine whether to initiate a change relating to the operating parameter to one or more base stations in the plurality of base stations. The operating parameter may be a Physical Cell Identifier, PCI.
